As it's still early in 2025, I thought that it would be a good idea to revisit the basics. I sometimes go down a particular rabbit hole myself (photographically speaking) and, in so doing, forget something basic but useful. So, I think it's a good idea to periodically go over the basics again.

I've cheated slightly in that I'm talking through a free PDF that I offer on my website; "10 simple steps to improve your photography today". You can go to the download page by clicking the link.

So, while not all of them will be new to you, there might be something in the list that you haven't been doing as often as you might. Here's the list:

1. Have a clear subject
2. Use the "Rule of thirds"
3. Use depth of field
4. Know your camera
5. Use 'Leading lines'
6. Change your point of view
7. Use reflections
8. Be aware of your background
9. Try using black and white
10. Break the rules!

Of course, these tips, and much more, can be found in my online photography courses, so please take a look.
